The assault against Jair Bolsonaro Yesterday, September 6, the candidate Jair Bolsonaro was assaulted during a public act in Minas Gerais. He was stabbed by a man who was blended in the crowd and had to be hospitalized. He suffered a few internal injuries and had to go through a surgery, but fortunately the injuries are not life threatning. Jair Bolsonoro is one of the most popular cadidates for the 2018 presidencial election in Brazil and is well known because of his radical ideas. He appears as the head in every pool for the first round of the presidencial elections that will take place next October, disregarding the candidacy of the ex-president Lula, who will probably be prevented from running because of his conviction for corruption. Despite his apparent popularity, the pools also indicate that Bolsonaro would lose in the second round, since his rejection rate is higher than his popularity. The man who stabbed Bolsonaro was a left-wing party member for a while, but currently he is not part of any political party.
